OriginalMy was considered a use case for the government and public sector and summarized in the Technical Report as a project that is “improving governance authenticating identities, authorization signatures and digital content“:

“Founded in 2015, OriginalMy envisions a world in which individuals and entities have a balanced alignment of interests and are empowered to take necessary actions that build Trust in the e-Governance for the benefit of the entire organisation.

The challenge to achieve that vision is building Trust and increase the overall governance process while providing compliance, risk management and cybersecurity tools that cannot be flawed, corruptible, tamperable and non-verifiable – because of centralisation.

The solution is presenting a trusted and immutable blockchain framework with:

– The next generation of Digital Identity & storage of assets;– Seamlessly authentication with proof-of-authorship;– Single Sign-On, with control of delivering of personal data;– Authentic signed documents, contracts and transactions ;– Proof-of-authenticity for digital content;– Blockchain-enabled e-voting systems;

This approach is trustful because it improves the overall e-Governance reducing costs and saving time, is flexible to address an array of risk and compliance needs, performs traceability of all digital acts performed and has the security provided by blockchain cryptography protocols.”

By allowing for the tokenization of all of a person’s resources, assets, and attributes and attaching it to a blockchain ID, OriginalMy avoids the need for third parties to verify ownership. With that, it reduces costs and time associated with bureaucracy, thus empowering people.

This empowerment is especially important because it contributes to four of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals:

Goal 16: Promote just, peaceful and inclusive societies

Goal 5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls

Goal 10: Reduce inequality within and among countries

Goal 17: Revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development

The recognition granted by the United Nations is evidence of the importance of the work done by OriginalMy, highlighting the positive impacts of the project.
